Kiowa County Economic Development
Foundation has had an extraordinarily busy, exciting year. KCEDF
activities have been varied and spread throughout the entire county.
During the upcoming year, we will take on larger projects that will
benefit not only Kiowa County, but the Southeast region of Colorado. These
will include the promotion of tourism, value-added agriculture, renewable
energy as well as continuing to assist with infrastructure projects that
will make Kiowa County an attractive area to live and work. KCEDF will
begin development of the Jackson property that was acquired by the
Foundation last year.
The Foundation’s annual meeting will
be held April 1, 6:00 p.m. at the Kiowa County Community Building. Due to
the expanded plans of KCEDF and the impact of those endeavors on the
community, the Foundation is opening this year’s annual meeting to the
public. The dinner will be potluck, with KCEDF providing meat, rolls,
potatoes and place settings. Just bring your favorite side dish or
dessert. We encourage those with an interest in the future of Kiowa County
to attend. Presentations will include: Ken Strom, Director of Bird
Conservation for Audubon Colorado will speak about bird watching and
conservation and the related opportunities for tourism. "KCEDF Project
